My heart’s desire comes to my lips as a prayer

God, make my life as one of a candle, a guiding light,

My presence would destroy the darkness of this world,

And my burning light would illuminate all space

My actions would be for my country, beautiful and admired

Just as a flower adds to the beauty of a garden

My life would be like that of a moth that loves light and flies into it!

Such would be my love for Knowledge!

I would work not but to help the poor

And to fill the lives of the lost and old with love

God, save me from the evil and wrong

And keep me on the path that is straight and righteous – (by Allama M. Iqbal)

“I say to you this morning, that if you have never found something so dear and precious to you that you will die for it, then you aren’t fit to live. You may be 38 years old, as I happen to be, and one day, some great opportunity stands before you and calls upon you to stand up for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause. And if you refuse to do it because you are afraid. You refuse to do it because you want to live longer. You’re afraid that you will lose your job, or you are afraid that you will be criticized or that you will lose your popularity, or you’re afraid that somebody will stab you or shoot you or bomb your house. So you refuse to take the stand. Well you may go on and live until you are ninety, but you are just as dead at 38 as you would be at ninety. And the cessation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit.

You died when you refused to stand up for right.

You died when you refused to stand up for truth.

You died when you refused to stand up for justice.”

Dr. Martin Luther King

O God, deliver us from preoccupation with worldly vanities, and show us the nature of things as they really are. Remove form our eyes the veil of ignorance and show us things as they really are. Show not to us non-existence as existent, nor cast the veil of non-existence over the beauty of existence. Make this phenomenal world the mirror to reflect the manifestation of your beauty, and not a veil to separate and repel us from you. Cause these unreal phenomena of the universal to be for us the sources of knowledge and insight and not the cause of ignorance and blindness
